So Far



Alright, I apologize for not having posted for a while.
Naima and I are finally in Second year, getting closer and closer to what it feels like to really study design.
We're both incredibly busy, and spend most of our free time either eating or crying.

I decided to come by to drop off some photosketches I made for our Photography Basics class.



I really wanted to work with lighting for our first project, but I soon deviated from that into almost underwater photos. My models are basically submerged while I stay above water and desperately hand-signal to them in order to try and direct their movements. It's been quite the challenge.
My first issue was with shutterspeed, and I brought in two huge lights to eliminate my speed issues. So now I can shoot relatively fast and get really clear images without all the water dust particles showing. I'm aiming for a crystalline look while trying to simultaneously distort my model's face. It's hard to find a meeting ground. On average, we take a minimum of 500 photos just to have 3 photos come out nearly close to what I'm looking for.

It's been five weeks in the process and I feel closer to the outcome.

Just a bit more to go...
